here is the problem, that manual while well written and still relavant, is
extremely out of date in some way. the file you are actually looking for is
script manager.jss. The manual was written before confignames.ini came to
exist.

Subject: [jawsscripts] No jscript.jss file
Hello All,
I am working my way through scripting exercises in the manual on scripting
written by Kenneth Gould, and I have come upon a snag.
The manual states:
"We will create a script for the Script Manager that reads the current line
number. :...
Start the Script Manager by selecting it from the JAWS Utilities menu.
Press INSERT+Q to verify the Script Manager settings are loaded into the
stack above the
default script file and that the program name for the script editor is
JSCRIPT.EXE. This means, of course, that the script file currently
controlling JAWS is
JSCRIPT.JSS. To load this file so you can edit it, drop down the file menu
with ALT+F and arrow down to Open and press ENTER. Type in the file
name, JSCRIPT.JSS, and press ENTER."
Here's the snag: when I try to open jscript.jss, either in user or shared
files, I am told that no such file exists. However, I find it odd that when
I do the insert plus Q, it does indeed say "Script Manager Settings
jscript.exe", as indicated in the manual.
I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if the file really does not
exist in my version of Jaws, namely 7.1.
I am tempted to press insert plus 0 to try and get the application .jss file
to come up, but I don't want to mess anything up, so I thought I would ask
here first.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Donna (a scripter-wanna be)
